Background

Campus Level Metric

Tejas LEE is given to many students across Texas in the early grades.  Is serves as a screening tool to identify students who will need extra help to be reading on grade level by the end of the year.  This assessment has been developed in response to the large number of requests for this data from elementary educators in the LPR districts.

Primary Metric

Tejas LEE: the percentage of students scoring developed on 70% or more of the inventories given on the most recent administration

Business Rules

Data Assumptions

  • Campus must report scores for all the sections given to the student as well as their score for the assessment as a whole.
  • Student scores are listed by count as well as score (Still Developing or Developed)
  • Campuses only administer the Tejas LEE for grades K-2

Computed Values

The status equals the number of students with a score of D on 70% or more of the inventories given over the number of students with a Tejas LEE score for the campus.

Test Identification

The assessment vendor must to identify the following based components from the enumerated set of data: grade level, classroom/section, campus and date of administration.

Data Anomalies

Anomalies

  • Late enrollees may have taken Benchmark Assessment tests at their previous school
  • Loading of data from multiple administration dates

Footnotes

Best practice is for the developer to footnote the following:

  • The date and the school year that the Reading Assessment scores were last loaded.

Date of Refresh

The date of refresh should display as (Through MOY 2012)

Drill Downs
